He related a hadith qudsi in which the Prophet has said that God says, “Truly, God Most High boasts [pronkt] to His angels about a young person who has devoted himself to God’s worship and service, saying... ‘Oh, young person, you who have given up your desires and sacrificed this time of health and strength for My sake, to Me you are like one of My angels.’”
Khadija exclaimed, “So does it mean that we children and teens could be more like angels when we fast from food and drink? Are we being more like angels when we keep away from lower desires? When we avoid being busy with the many things of this world, and really concentrate on worship and serving others?”
“That’s right, Khadija,” replied Ustaz Ali.
